Interesting blurb about the CD version:

"For the CD version, some mixes and all mastering will be different. The music won't be leveled to what you find in digital platform today and the audio spectrum will be closer to what we used to hear in the 80's.
The aim is to recover levels, dynamics, bandwidth color, and the great listening conditions we had back in the '80s when CD's were just being commercialized.
Today, loud mastering is cool because at low listening level, you feel all the bass and highs very well, giving the feel of power. But the more you push the volume -- at normal level then at a higher level -- the more sounds might feel "strained" or distorted.
This is the opposite with quieter mastering. The more you push the volume, the more you'll feel power... and that seems more normal doesn't it?
Even when buying 80's LP's, they were almost all being "re-mastered," utilizing loud, 21st century mastering. And that's sad because it'll become harder and harder to experience what we've exactly got when listening to '80s CD releases. So, please keep your old first pressing CD's of your favorite bands! "

Lady Gaga - Joanne
Uhhh, not as great as Artpop IMO, that one felt awesome to hear.

Listened to 'Ride the Lightning' (album) for the first time.
Not being familar with the brand 'cept some MTv, I'm shocked: 1984.
Picked it because of the lightning reference. Right call.

Since I didn't own a PS3 nor followed/watched anything related to Ace Combat Infinity, I just very recently discovered this masterpiece.

the feels is very strong with this one while I'm currently (re)doing Ace Combat-verse marathon.

Rollins Band 'Weight'. Funky, loud and Mr Rollins as just the ultimate bad-ass. Disconnect, Icon and Wrong Man are awesome.

Love Battery 'Dayglo'. One 90's band the never got the recognition they deserved. Closer to a rockier My Bloody Valentine than the alt metal/punk Seattle was famous for at the time. Lots of swirly, fuzzy guitars and proper pop/rock tunes that don't overstay their welcome.

Dillinger Escape Plan 'Disassociate'. Sound like more of the same at the moment to be honest, but I haven't played it extensively.

Bowie at the Beeb. Splurged on the 4x12" box set. It's glorious.

Bowie 'The Man Who Sold The World'. I t's a hugely underappreciated record as far as I'm concerned - it's as much of a metal record as the (only slightly earlier) Black Sabbath album, The Width Of A Ciircle, All The Madmen, She Shook Me Cold and The Supermen in particular.

A collection of Dynatron's non-album works. Haven't heard many of these before, very cool stuff.

22 great tracks by RF Extreme, really chill stuff. Some remind me of the old SMT games.

I got the No Man's Sky OST CD for Christmas.

They left out the song from the E3 trailer! When will this game ever stop disappointing?

[TransatlanticFoe]

I presume you mean the track Debutante, which featured on one of the early trailers. It's from an earlier 65daysofstatic album and not the material they wrote for the game, which is why it's not on the OST album.

It really doesn't warrant sticking the boot in on the game. We get that it didn't deliver on many of its promises but the OST did, I don't get how you can turn literally the only positive into a negative.

$60 buys you a lot of bile.

[TransatlanticFoe]

Yeah, bile that is best directed at the people who made the game and associated promises. Having a dig at the band who did the music for not including stuff they put on previous records is twisted and petty. Enjoy it, it's a great record.

I should have used a smiley to communicate that I was being tongue-in-cheek.

Not by me it isn't. Top five favorites of all time. In any case, I think it's hard to say that any Bowie album is underappreciated at this point. I would have agreed 20 years ago. I saw Visconti do this whole album on tour last year with original drummer from the spiders for Mars. One half of the original band. It was fucking amazing. Also the first time it was ever performed live. Bowie never toured for it, moving straight into Hunky Dory.


I've been listening to Scientist. This album was reissued recently

I'm not a big fan of vaporwave, but this album sounds much more enjoyable than what i've heard before in that genre.

Yes, yes marvelous. Track 4. "After all"; superb. Surely someone has noticed the connection with Paul Giovanni's The Wicker Man score, three years later

vaporwave

"Vaporwave" . . . who knew? How is one meant to keep up with all this change

https://simgretina.bandcamp.com/album/frenssu
Just wow...

Nice find. Track 4. "Ki No Sei Ka" and the whole album really, makes me think of (wish for?) a 2017 VR JSR.

Revisiting an old favourite, Rainbow's Rising. Been too long. Dio and Blackmore's collective finest hour. Balls to the wall rock n' roll theatre in an ultra-tight runtime.

"Gimme back my WILL!"

Muh feels!

[soprano1]

Thanks, Zen. There is more cool stuff on bandcamp, not just synthwave.

And now... Another "Albums that will make you feel like you are Jack Kerouac"


Until next time with "Films that will make you go full William Burroughs"

[Opus131]

Just got my hands on a boxset containing tons of bootlegs by John Coltrane. Sound quality leaves a lot to be desired, but the performances are sweet:
